Changing the Planetary Gear
Drive Oil
Change the oil initially after first 200 hours of operation.
Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140
wt. gear lube.
1. With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel
so that the check/drain plug (Fig. 47) is at the lowest
position (6 o’clock).

2. Place a drain pan under the hub, remove the plug, and
allow the oil to drain.
3. Place another drain pan under the brake housing on the
other side of the wheel (Fig. 48).
4. Remove check/drain plugs from the brake housing and
allow the oil to drain.
5. When all of the oil has drained, install the bottom plug
in the brake housing.
6. Position the wheel so that the plug hole is at the ten or
two o’clock position on the planetary.
7. Slowly add approximately 16 oz. (0.5 l) of high quality
SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lube to the planetary fill hole (at
the ten or two o’clock position) until the level is up to
the bottom of the brake housing check hole. Install the
plug.
8. Repeat the procedure on the opposite planetary/brake
assembly.
